Holy Bible

     If there was one book that i could save in this world, it would definitely be the bible. I have always wanted to read the bible but never found the time to sit down each day and read it all. I know that is bad to say that i don't have time for God's word but it's not like that.
     everyone needs guidance in there life and the one thing i turn to for guidance is my faith. I feel that if you turn to God for guidance, he will never lead you down the wrong path. I have developed a stronger relationship with God as i have grown older. Growing up in a catholic environment and attending a catholic school my whole life i was sort of forced to learn about the religion. I never really thought much of it throughout my years in school. In high school i wasn't faced with the many adversities that some people are faced with. I was kind of spoiled and got everything handed to me. So when i got to college and had to start handling my adversities on my own I had to turn to someone, and that someone is God.
    To say the least, you cannot go wrong listening to God's word. Some people may disagree, and that's fine because people are entitled to their own opinions. But If there was one book that I could save for the rest of the world to see, it would be the Holy Bible.

Halloween


Halloween has always been one of my least favorite holidays. I never really got the point of the holiday or ever heard of why it even started? I just don't get the point of running around in costumes trying to look like something else. Today, especially college students go a little too far on the costumes and make them more outgoing than needed. 

One of the reasons that I really don't like Halloween is trick or treating. When I was a little kid I was very scared of all of the older people that dressed up to scare everyone. I would always make my mom/dad go up to the door and grab the candy for me and I would stand on the sidewalk with the other one if someone was dressed up too scary. When i was growing up, i absolutely hated horror movies and my brothers would rent them all the time and make me watch them to make me even more scared. My most hated movie was, Scream. Whenever I would go trick or treating and see someone dressed up as the murder character from scream I would start crying and always would instantly want to go home and be done trick or treating for the night. Also, I am very picky on the type of candy I like and will eat. Every time I went trick or treating, it would seem like every house I went to passed out the candy that I thought was gross.

Overall, I just really do not see a need for the holiday of Halloween. I just see it now as giving another reason to have a huge party and dress up all scandalous. If there was one holiday that i could take out of the calendar, it would definitely be Halloween.
